Abstract

A bounded linear operator A acting on a separable complex Hilbert space H is called C-normal with respect to some conjugation C on H if \(CA^*AC=AA^*\). In the present paper, we show that every bounded linear operator A on H can be perturbed by finite-rank operator F with norm as small as desired so that \(A+F\) is not C-normal with respect to any conjugation C.
